Well, happy blogiversary to me. Four years ago I decided to give blogging another shot. I thought it was a cool idea when I first came across it, but at the time I was so busy with home, family, school, running my own chat room and discussion forum, that my first blog didn't go anywhere or do anything.

My mom loved to bake. Cookies, cakes, biscuits, brownies, sweet breads and squares - and those goodies were just to “have on hand” for morning coffee, afternoon tea or an evening snack. They never counted as dessert. Desserts were puddings, cobblers, pies, or a special creation like rhubarb torte, pineapple upside down cake or maybe gingerbread with whipped cream. And we had dessert for every supper. The meal was just incomplete without something sweet. If Mom didn’t have a home-baked dessWakey Wakey
